What kind of flooring is best?

vor 6 Jahren

zuletzt bearbeitet:vor 6 Jahren

Looking to replace our tired carpet, and considering taking the plunge into a better flooring option. We're looking for something that won't break the bank, but the final aesthetic really matters most for us. I'm a complete flooring novice - are there any good options outside of real hardwood floors?

Hi!

There are some great quality laminate flooring that would not only look great but also be long lasting... There is also Vinyl plank flooring which is slightly warmer on the feet and easy maintenance as well.

Sometimes, hardwood floors can be found for cheaper than the above mentioned options. Check out the clearance section of the big box stores, or even local flooring stores for some great deals.

A natural carpet such as wool or a softer version of jute would still look great depending on the space.

Have fun!

End grain oak.

Think butcher block, but much larger scale.

Wir haben uns als Kombination mit der Natursteinwand für chinesischen Blaustein entschieden, weil der natürliche Stein sich wunderbar weich anfühlt und mit den Jahren eine schöne Patina bekommt. Mit den breiten Fugen wirkt das Ganze nicht zu clean und neu und ist für Fußbodenheizung ( und Haushalt mit Hund und Kind ) ideal. Offenporiger Stein kann versiegelt werden, ist für Säuren allerdings immer anfällig. Das macht allerdings auch den besonderen Reiz aus. Das Material wird mit den Jahren immer schöner. Viel Freude beim Aussuchen !

I would hang a large textile such as Moroccan bedspread, sheer drapery, or other fabric that you feel enhances meditation on the wall. This will also absorb sound and make the area quieter. Paint the walls of ONLY the meditation space to create a visual area for the activity, even though the stairs have open risers and there is no door.

Hi Nicola, thank you so so much. Its just so nice. So pretty. The good thing is its not a mind bender. I was already thinking something on the lines. But the elements had to fit together. And now it looks they do. What I had not thought at all is the upholstery thing. It’s so nice. Even if I cannot do uphostry , I have gotten the idea now. I would somehow make the back of shelves and the heastbound side of bed same or coordinated, in order to make it kind of cozy niche corner as you have nicely put it. For shelves I was thinking to use a single piece or may a two pieces of 4x4 shelves like IKEA Kalax to creat a kind of partition of about 120 cm As I said I was thinking of similar things but as it comes from an expert I feel very happy. One more thing. For the colors would you recommend the ones I see already in the Sketsch??? Secondly, for the floor in the second / Upper room i was thinking of using small rugs in different colors witha kind of collage ( the pupose being easy maintainece, as a bigger carpet has to be send for professional carpet cleaners or need carpet cleaning machine). Small rugs if one is spoiled is easier to replace , which not easy in case of a bigger one that is wall to wall and heavy. Small rugs are easy to clean an rearrange. Of course under that I can add a light floor matt under these rugs to hold them together.( In both cases what colors , should be good. I mean if I add one piece carpet that would be almost half of the room, which colors should I take) or do you think it will make the rather smaller place look too busy and I should go for a full size carpet? What do you say about that. Thank you so much for your lovely idea and the inpus; in terms of actual work / sketch and your time. Best of regards

Kitchen/dining room wall

Hello! I would definitely recommend to take out the wall. Your room will feel so much more spacious and bright because you'll also get the light from the window when you sit at the dining table. Kitchen island is a perfect idea – it creates a lot of extra storage and is ideal for a communicative kitchen/dining situation (no divider between kitchen and dining area). With various shelves and built-in cabinets you can create even more storage room. Living in a space before making any changes is a wise decision – as long as it comes to furniture. When it's about taking out a wall you'll probably never do that later on ;) Happy to discuss if you need more inspiration / ideas – Just book a time that suits you. Cheers Anna

End grain oak, eh? Somebody missed this part of the OP's post:
"We're looking for something that won't break the bank..."

and this:

"...are there any good options outside of real hardwood floors?"

There are some FANTASTIC things other than real hardwood. The "won't break the bank" will need some definition.

First: How BIG are we talking? The entire level = 1200sf? Or two bedrooms totaling 350sf?

Second: Budget? How much do you have to spend for the ENTIRE project? That includes removing and disposing of carpet ($1/sf), subfloor prep ($1 - $5/sf depending on what we are looking at for subfloor) and then final flooring product including under pad if allowed ($2 - $25/sf)?

Give us the ABSOLUTE LIMIT of your budget and we can work backwards to a price point you will look for on the shelf.

Third: What is your SUBFLOOR? Are your carpets over concrete slab or over wood joists? Do you have a basement? Crawl space? Condo/apartment? What floor?

Answering ALL these questions will take you from "blind novice" to "knowledgeable homeowner who happens to be a flooring newbie".

A few more details and we will get you there! Oh...Yah. How many people living there and what are your expectations of the floor? Warm/quiet? Hard/cool? Scratch resistant? Hate tile? Hate carpet? Personal requirements for the floor/home????????
